微積分的故事 (簡中版)
商品描述
Calculus is the key to much of modern science and engineering. It is the mathematical method for the analysis of things that change, and since in the natural world we are surrounded by change, the development of calculus was a huge breakthrough in the history of mathematics. But it is also something of a mathematical adventure, largely because of the way infinity enters at virtually every twist and turn... In The Calculus Story, David Acheson presents a wide-ranging picture of calculus and its applications, from ancient Greece right up to the present day. Drawing on their original writings, he introduces the people who helped to build our understanding of calculus. With a step-by-step treatment, he demonstrates how to start doing calculus, from the very beginning.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
微積分是現代科學和工程的關鍵。它是分析變化事物的數學方法，而在自然界中，我們周圍充滿了變化，因此微積分的發展在數學史上是一個巨大的突破。但這也是一場數學冒險，主要是因為無限的概念幾乎在每一個轉折中都會出現...
在《微積分的故事》中，David Acheson 提供了微積分及其應用的廣泛圖景，從古希臘一直延續到現代。他根據原始文獻介紹了幫助我們理解微積分的人物。通過逐步的處理，他展示了如何從最基本的開始學習微積分。
